9 weeks and still no MU money. The status site says it has been sent for payment but it has said that for several weeks now. Anyone else waiting on their blood money?

Well, at least they did not single me out for some obscure reason.

I can understand Leslie's being delayed - they try to match the MU dollars to the provider.....I understand Leslie's check was placed on a mule and is currently somewhere in Georgia and in route. Sandeep's on the other hand makes no sense as I am sure it is on a fiberoptic line and should have been there in 5 msec.....anyway I am sure it will be there shortly.

Hey, Steven, I in fact would be happy if my check were on a mule in Georgia!! At least it would be being handled by a sensible jackass rather than some idiot government agency!

I wish. No actually as soon as I saw the deposit I paid off a bunch of overdue bills and gave the employees a bonus. I might even splurge and buy the "good" toilet paper for the employees bathroom.

Speaking as a solo GI, I can wholeheartedly support all three of those expenditures.

Close the account and run. Don't forget to save 1/3 of it for taxes (they want it back!)

Adam, Sandeep: I'm happy for you guys! I was glad to get my $1400 for e-prescribing. What did we report, 20 e-scripts? That's like $70 each!

Yea, Wendell, I may have to reconsider that. They seem to be getting along ok now with the used waiting room magazines.  I keep a supply of "the good stuff" under lock and key in my office.

I sent in my attestation for the last 90 days of 2011 on January 2nd. I received my $$ yesterday for my wife and I both in one big $36,000 chunk. SO, that took exactly 8 weeks from attestation to money in the bank.
